Kinko-ryu. Made from rare madaké bamboo harvested in Chiba, Japan. 14K gold
utaguchi. Inlaid binding. This flute
is made from a perfect uncut piece of madaké that grew naturally,
conforming to the idea aesthetic for shakuhachi governing the relationshiop of fushi (nodes) to finger holes. Such madaké is rare to find for a classical 1.8' length instrument.
